The pick for the next competition is Chicken Shift. I figured, lets play a game that everyone can play, requires only minimal controls and doesn't take long for a game. The game requires only 2 buttons and a clear head. Good luck!

Good luck!

Chicken Shift, definitely going to be trying my hand in this comp. Found this game using the random button about six months ago, played it for 10mins and thought "What a crap game." Then spent the next 2 hours playing it. Then came back the next day to play again. Then moved it to my favourites list.Top choice leapinlew.

Never argue with an idiot, he'll just drag you down to his level and beat you with experience.

Heh, I wondered who nickelstringer was...nice one Anyway, I'll start the ball rolling with 13890. I messed up my initials (wasn't sure which key was which, so I just put in AAA)I have played this before, once or twice, a long time ago. Sente made a few interesting games, Snake Pit is a neat one, but I think Stocker is my favorite of theirs.

Definitely just need to get in a groove and find the patterns to go with. Lost at the level where you have to start storing the eggs in two separate containers..Might as well take the lead before someone blows this score out of the water Very fun game and I'll have to give it some more play when I have more time.

I've gotten to level 6 or 7 (wasn't counting) I'll try to get a screenshot. It's just like the first level except you have to split the eggs in to two baskets. I guess it depends on how you count levels. The first two levels are ones that you drop eggs in the basket, then the next is the kitchen, followed by flipping the chickens in to their nests. Do you consider that 4 levels or 3? I've been to 2 egg levels, one kitchen, one flip in to nest, egg level, kitchen level, flip in to nest and keep losing on the next egg level where you have to split the eggs in two baskets.

Now's as good a time as any to develop a policy for what to do in case of a tie.

Sure, there are 3 more days of this competition in which there could be a tie-breaker, but let's decide upon our tie policy sooner rather than later.

I see a few options:

1 - First person to get the score gets 1st, second person to get the score gets 2nd.

2 - Both people share first place, but player who got the score 1st gets to choose the next game. 2nd place person (guy with next-lowest score after the 2 tied people) gets on the scoreboard as 2nd.

3 - 2 tied people play 1 game each & post their score. Honor system applies. Both of the tied scores still stand (unless one of these tie-breaker games results in a higher score), but result of tie-breaker game determines 1st & 2nd place.

4 - 2 tied people play as many games as they want in a period of time (24 hours?) & post their best score. Honor system applies. Both of the tied scores still stand (unless one of these tie-breaker games results in a higher score), but result of tie-breaker game determines 1st & 2nd place.
